Re: [Tinycc-devel] Re : Lock-free tcc

+1.

This term "toy compiler" is an offensive term. It belittles people who write 
small compilers whichare objectively superior to big compilers.

If 2 lines of code gets the same result as 200lines of code, the latter isn't 
that of an expert but of an oversmart fool!

tcc is amazing and I agree that it's aim should be to support latest C 
standards, that are minimal and required. I agree with going to C11.
Thanking you
